Stones of Sacred Resistance
In
Maceio', Brazil, located in the Northeast Coast of Brazil, the communities of farmers and fisherman gathered to recall their long history of sacred struggle for land usage and sustainability.
Illustrations for the publication were completed by the local Youth Theatre Group, Seeds of Art.
The goal of the Theatre group is not only to gather the
stones but also to "inspire the next generation to continue the work of liberation and transformation begun by their ancestors."
The struggle for existence is chronicled through this oral history based on 60 interviews of men and women, the grandmothers and grandfathers of the community. Their struggle is important for their grandchildren.
In ceremony and celebration, the community gathers the memories
(stones) and disperses the memories in words to the
next generation.
